Ian Maatsen joins Borussia Dortmund on loan from Chelsea

New signing Ian Maatsen was on the pitch for the full 90 minutes of his BVB debut and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

The 21-year-old full-back joins BVB on loan from Chelsea and is expected to provide some much-needed depth to the squad.

Maatsen is a product of the Chelsea academy and has represented England at various youth levels. He made his debut for the Blues in 2020 and has since made a handful of appearances for the first team.

The Dutch-born defender is comfortable playing on either flank and is known for his attacking qualities. He is also a good passer and crosser of the ball.

Maatsen's arrival at BVB is a welcome addition to the squad, which has been short of options at full-back. He is expected to compete with Raphael Guerreiro and Nico Schulz for a starting spot.

BVB will be hoping that Maatsen can make a similar impact to the one he made at Coventry City last season. The Sky Blues reached the Championship play-off final, with Maatsen playing a key role in their success.

Maatsen is a talented young player with a bright future. BVB will be hoping that he can help them achieve their goals this season.
